Microdermabrasion 

QnA Microdermabrasion

Healthy, radiant skin begins with proper exfoliation, and traditional microdermabrasion offers a simple, non-invasive way to reveal a smoother, brighter complexion. At QnA Medical Spa, we provide professional microdermabrasion treatments that gently remove dull, damaged surface cells while encouraging natural skin renewal. Whether you want to improve early signs of aging, soften acne scars, or restore a healthy glow, this skin exfoliation treatment can help you achieve noticeable results without downtime or extended recovery.

What Is Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is a professional skin resurfacing treatment that exfoliates the outermost layer of dead skin cells using a diamond-encrusted handpiece and light suction. By removing this buildup, the skin can renew itself more efficiently, creating a smoother texture and a brighter, healthier appearance.

Unlike more aggressive resurfacing procedures, microdermabrasion requires no anesthesia, involves minimal to no discomfort, and allows patients to return to their normal activities immediately after treatment. This makes it an excellent option for individuals seeking visible skin rejuvenation without downtime.

The exfoliation process also encourages healthy cell turnover and stimulates collagen production, helping the skin gradually become firmer and more even over time.

Who Benefits From Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is suitable for many patients who want healthier, smoother skin without invasive procedures. 

Microdermabrasion may benefit individuals experiencing:

  • Fine lines and early signs of aging
  • Clogged pores and mild to moderate acne
  • Mild sun damage
  • Uneven skin tone
  • Rough skin texture and mild scarring
  • Dull or tired-looking skin
  • Dry skin caused by accumulated dead skin cells
  • Excess oil production

Although many skin types respond well to treatment, patients with certain active skin conditions or severe inflammatory acne may benefit from alternative resurfacing options. Your provider will recommend the safest treatment based on your skin evaluation.

While many patients see improvements after a single treatment, a series of treatments every four to six weeks are needed to produce the most consistent long-term results.

What to Expect During Your Treatment

Your treatment begins with cleansing the skin to remove makeup, sunscreen, and oils. The aesthetician then passes the microdermabrasion handpiece across the skin using controlled movements. Patients often describe the sensation as a gentle scratching or light exfoliating massage accompanied by mild suction.

Most treatments take approximately 30 to 45 minutes depending on the treatment area.

Following treatment, your skin may appear slightly pink for a short period, similar to mild sun exposure. This typically resolves quickly, allowing you to resume work, errands, or social activities without interruption.

After treatment, the esthetician will apply post-care products to the skin and provide instructions on how to maintain the results.

“First time in this clinic and won't be the last! From the initial phone call through the exam and treatment, everyone on staff was attentive, making me feel very comfortable, answering all of my questions. Dr. Falon and her assistant were both wonderful. They spent all the time I needed to answer all of my questions and discuss not only the treatment I was about to receive, but also questions concerning my current skin care and cosmetic regime. I can't wait to see the results of the treatment and recommendations for my new clearer and younger appearance! Dr. Falon encouraged bringing in what I'm using to see how to best use it or maybe try a few new products or no new products. I don't feel at all that she will try to push products on me. Everyone in this clinic is very kind and helpful. I highly recommend Q&A Cosmetic Surgery and Medical Spa!”
